The Broadway Quintet – Amalume

Liner Notes:

They hail from such old-time groups as
the Rhokana Melodies, The Crooners, De Black Evening Follies and The
City Quads. It was the UNIP National Band of 1962 that brought the boys
together. And they’re still together 14 years later! Tony Maonde, Zacks
Gwaze, Timothy Sikova, Jonah Marumahoko, Simanga Tutani – individually,
musicians of rare talent; together, The Broadway Quintet, polished
night-club performers of Lusaka’s Hotel Intercontinental. But, beneath
their public image there runs, like the mighty Zambezi, a creative force
that explodes with originality and electrifying beauty. From vocal
compositions like “Mr. Music” and “Change Your Mind” through the more
traditional “Jiye Manguwe” and title-track “Amalume,”
The Broadway Quintet move into instrumentals of the brilliance and
vitality of “Matteo” and “Nifyo Fine.” To The Broadway Quintet we say,
“Thanks for a fantastic LP.”
